what do you guys think about the aki match mostly his rushdown against Aigis once he gets going its super hard to get him off but i think i just don't know that match up so if anyone can give me some tips it would be much appreciated
P4 Main: Sub:
Well i had fought some Akihikos with diferent gameplay, i can say that unless you have a good defense and reaction for most of Aki`s hits the match will get complicated, mastering to some degree Aigis`s mix ups on Orgia Mode is a must to get the upper hand, so is necesary to find safe moments to activate OM, after that is a matter of just landing hit on him.
Aki will destroy anybody who stands in his way !! nuff said...,
Alright seriously though, Coming from an Aki main. The biggest weakness is (ovbiously) long ranged players. Meaning Aigis would be a tough match. Medium-range characters are even a big threat. With charge moves such as Mitsuru. So to defeat Aki, Just stay back and try to stun or slow him down as much as possible. You wont survive up close an personal.
Thats the point in getting OM on as soon as possible, to get more movement speed, just like Phanatos said, a good zoning can make the diference.
A good Zoning can make ALL the difference. Although even though you may have a good long/medium-range combo going on and you're keeping Aki at a decent range. He still has a couple charge moves, In addition Ceaser can lure you in. You don't have to worry about Ceaser so much though. He's pretty much useless unless Aki has access to Ziodyne or you're just really close to him.
No really, some Aki`s skill can make him go through all the stage in 1 hit, no even the gattling could stop that from happening.
Adding some pretty interesting tips from just a recently match against a very good and patient Akihiko:
His Caesar is more or less the best zoning Akihiko has, too much range and dmg as well it causes bounce if it conects in the air giving him the chance to combo and is overhead, pretty fast as well. Good combos, and easily took half my health with each one. Pretty close matches i won 4 out of 9 so i lose this one yet was a good exp since most i`ve fought so far were Labrys and Narukamis.
The point is: just like Phanatos said Zoning against him is ideal, and is most likely suicidal close combat whitout OM activated, that i dont have to say good defense is needed against a good Aki. Good reaction is a good option to dodge or block his attacks and zoning, because right after that he is defenseless after using his Persona. Be extremely careful whit his Maziodyne when he keeps his distance, and save 1more if you miss Meggido or another SP skill.
Thats pretty much i could get from the fight against this Akihiko.
To get close safetly i recommend learning IAD whitout OM (since in OM IAD is actually automatic by dashing) in case of running out of it, and keep an eye to his Caesar in Air being fast and causing bounce like i said before. Being patient is the best option to find a chance to attack, and saving some bullets.
